A voice for a different kind of ambition.
SPEAKING & MEDIA · Maruko Ryuwon
I'm Maruko Ryuwon, a biotechnology engineering student at Yonsei University,
public speaker, and founder of Kaleido,
a neurodivergent education and advocacy initiative.
Through personal storytelling,
research-informed perspectives, and practical insights, I speak about the intersection of ADHD, education, ambition, and the experiences of young neurodivergent adults.
I aim to create conversations that leave people feeling understood, informed, and inspired to rethink what meaningful educational support can look like.
Based in Seoul, South Korea.
Open to virtual and select
international speaking opportunities.
